Weekend Events

Town Square’s Greencycle Swap
Town Square’s next GREENCYCLE SWAP is this Saturday. This year, they’ve decided to try to offer a Greencycle Swap every second Saturday of each month, alternating between Greenpoint and Williamsburg. It’s a wonderful partnership with so many great neighborhood people and organizations. You can bring and take anything (books, clothing, et cetera) and as much as you want just as long as you donate $5! Saturday, March 13. 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. $5. 320 Manhattan Avenue, PS 132.

Mutt Show at Brooklyn Lyceum
This dog show is to celebrate all dogs – those dogs that only an owner can love. Dogs will compete for prizes and treats in such categories as “sloppiest kisser”, “most resembles owner”, “best beard”, “best 70+ pound lapdog”, “best costume” and more. You can enter your dog in as many categories as you wish – they are $10 per category. A percentage of all proceeds of the event will go straight to the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition (BARC), a Williamsburg no-kill shelter. Saturday & Sunday, March 13 & 14. 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Free. 227 4th Avenue, The Brooklyn Lyceum.

The Brooklyn Flea
The Flea is located at the former bank at One Hanson for the rest of the winter. The clocktower Art Deco building at Flatbush Ave., across from the Target mall, will be the Flea’s new home every Saturday and Sunday through March, for 12 weekends only. The Flea features 100 vendors and a great mix of vintage, antiques, jewelry, and food. Saturday & Sunday, March 13 & 14. 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Free. 1 Hanson Place, Skylight One Hanson.
